WORKSHOP Non-violent Action: A Force for Change in enabling learner engagement and capacities to transform the world together.

Non Violence as a paradigm for exploring emotionally-charged issues and creating hope…

Drawing on Development Education Centre South Yorkshire’s (DECSY) 4-year project to develop and trial curriculum materials with primary and secondary teachers, this workshop will use interactive methods to explore the materials and outcomes. The project aimed to:

• Provide inspiring case studies of groups of people locally and globally involved in non-violent social change at a variety of levels and for a variety of causes. 
• Engage learners with local and global issues so that they feel motivated to work for change.
• Help learners to identify their own concerns and decide on actions with a local or global impact and give them the tools to carry them out.
